September

Chad turned 33 last month! For his birthday we had his parents over for dinner and the kids decorated the house. And we enjoyed Chad's favorite dessert Pie.



Mom made him a cool new bag for his hiking backpack and an awesome money apron. He also received a new water pillow since we have tried many pillows that just don't work.




After we went out and shot our bows and played a little Top Shot. The challenge was to hit the target while in a moving wagon. Chad was really good at this but my phone was being crazy and wasn't recording the first 2 times he nailed the target and of course when I had him do it again and the phone actually recorded it it barley missed the target. But it was fun!


For September 11th the kids at school had a poster challenge with the theme "Home of the free because of the brave" Sophie worked really hard on her poster and was thrilled at the school assembly to be the grand champion winner of the school! She loved her prizes of gel pens and a water frisbee.



William is getting used to being the only one home during the day but he does get bored playing by himself and with me.




But he does love going to visit Great Grumpa Miller. He especially loves when he gets to push his wheelchair.


Football season has started and we love cheering for Boise State! Grandma Clayton came across some perfect shirts on clearance that the kids were excited about!


It is finally starting to cool off here in the desert! One morning it was foggy and wet and the kids thought it was so cool how many spider webs were in the backyard that we didn't know about! Easton exclaimed "The spiders already decorated for Halloween!!"




Sophie and Lydia have been loving sewing class with Grandma Clayton and Sophie finished a dress for her doll.



We went to a totally fun mario party and played the game live! It was a lot of fun and the kids loved the costumes.


And lastly we have been enjoying watching our two baby owls from last year grow up affectionately named "Bread and Butter" It is hard to get a good picture of them but they love to hangout in our tree above the bridge in our backyard.
